So, the government have very quietly passed a law banning explicit cartoon art of minors, allowing the prosecution of people who create such art, host it on their servers, and access it. While normally I wouldn’t care, there are fears that it would affect you, me, and Fur Affinity. See, Fur Affinity allows baby fur yiff, and baby fur yiff can be considered ‘explicit cartoon art of minors’. Now my own thoughts about baby fur are irrelevant, I don’t care what people masturbate to in the privacy of their own homes as long as it doesn’t directly harm anyone else. While we might find it reprehensible, ultimately it is harmless. It is absurd that the government appears to defend children that do not actually exist, and is further symptomatic of its obsession with punishing the innocent while letting the guilty go free. Banning the art will not make paedophilia go away and it will certainly not stop children being molested and abused in the real world. This bill makes ordinary UK Furs such as me criminals under the law for accessing Fur Affinity, even if we do not venture into the baby fur sections.

But unlike many other Britfurs, I am not leaving; to me Fur Affinity is not just a place to stick art on and engage in pointless drama, it is the symbol of furriness itself. I will only leave if it has been clarified that me accessing the website is illegal, but even then I will not go quietly.
